Golfweek video instruction: Keeping your head down is bad advice
Averee Dovsek and Kent St. Charles break down why 'keeping your head down' isn't the solution it's made out to be.
Almost every golfer has been told to keep their head down as they are swinging. While it may seem like a temporary solution, that advice is often doing more harm than good.
Fitness guru and Professional Long Driver Averee Dovsek and Kent St. Charles break down why "keeping your head down" isn't the solution it's made out to be.
Keeping your head locked in place can limit your ability to rotate throughout the ball. This can create a strange weight shift or lead to dipping at the golf ball. Check out this tip to stop topping the ball for good.

Top seniors head to Grandover for Golfweek Senior National Championship
Top seniors head to Grandover for Golfweek Senior National Championship Grandover Resort has a rich history when it comes to hosting college golf events. The Greensboro, North Carolina, resort has welcomed everything from the NCAA Division III National Championship to NCAA Division I Men's Regionals to the ACC Women's Golf Championship. And now, once again, it's the seniors' turn. Two years after extensive course renovations, Grandover will welcome a national field of senior amateurs for the Golfweek Senior National Championship. The 54-hole tournament will be played June 9-11 and players will compete in the usual four age divisions: Senior (ages 55-64), Super Senior (65-69), Legends (70-74) and Super Legends (75 and over). The tournament will take place on Grandover's East Course, which features many tree-lined fairways as well as several holes that have a 'stadium-type effect.' The East, as well as Grandover's neighboring West Course, was designed by David Graham and Gary Panks. A year ago, Trent Gregory won the senior division title after making birdie on the first extra hole against Michael Arasin. But neither Gregory nor Arasin will not be in the field this week, clearing the way for a new Senior Division winner. Undoubtedly, the favorite entering the event is Bryan Hoops, a Tempe, Arizona, resident who turned 56 in February and made his debut on the Golfweek senior circuit the same month. Hoops lost to Bob Royak, a former U.S. Senior Amateur champion, after a lengthy playoff at the Golfweek Pirates Classic but then won back-to-back Golfweek senior events in the Southern California desert in April. After that he just kept on winning, claiming the Society of Seniors' Senior Masters trophy days after his Golfweek wins. Hoops also won the Trans-Mississippi Senior Championship in Rancho Mirage, California, and the Huddleston Cup in Carrollton, Texas, earlier this year. The senior division, however, also includes two-time defending Golfweek Senior Player of the Year Kevin VandenBerg, who won this event in 2022. VandenBerg and Hoops are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the Golfweek National Senior Amateur Rankings. In the Super Senior division, the top four players in the Golfweek rankings will all tee it up: Marcus Beck, Greg Goode, James Starnes and Stevie Cannady. That division also includes 2023 champion Bob Edens. Golfweek's top-ranked Legends player, Greg Osborne, is among the field in that division at Grandover and so is No. 2-ranked Jeff Knox. Defending champion George Owens is back in the Super Legends division.

Angel Cabrera, in contention for a 4th PGA Tour Champions win this year, makes albatross
Aces are an anomaly, but most players know there's one result in golf that's even more rare than a hole-in-one: an albatross. It's highly unlikely (the odds are generally accepted as one-in-a-million), but it does happen from time to time when the best players in the world are in action. Advertisement Angel Cabrera was the latest to make a big bird, with a beautiful shot on the par-5 7th hole at TPC Wisconsin on Friday during the opening round American Family Insurance Open on the PGA Tour Champions. Cabrera won back-to-back majors in 2025 Cabrera, 55, is on an absolute tear in 2025, having amassed three PGA Tour Champions wins in the span of just six weeks earlier this year. He won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational in April before taking first in back-to-back events in May at the Regions Tradition and the Senior PGA Championship, respectively. Cabrera could be in line for yet another victory as he and his team-event partner, Ricardo Gonzalez, are firmly in contention at the American Family Insurance Open. Advertisement The two-time major champion has had a long climb back to the spotlight in the golf world since being released from prison in Argentina in 2023. He spent two years behind bars after he was convicted in separate cases of domestic violence and threats against former partners.
